Welcome to this subreddit

4 Upvotes

For some reason, this has turned out to be a subreddit where I find and post a lot of links.

This is not on purpose. I honestly would rather this not turn into a pit full of links from obvious fake news sites, but, on the other hand, you DON'T have to be a doctor with a doctorate in virology to post here.

If you find an interesting article about what seems to be an infectious disease outbreak, you're welcome to post the link here.

As long as you're following obvious Rediquette rules (such as: don't cuss out or doxx people; don't encourage people to ignore real doctors' advice; don't post ad spam), you're welcome to post both posts and comments.

As Florida considers dropping its measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine mandate for school attendance, a new study predicts that such a policy change could spark the largest measles epidemic in the United States in nearly 500 years, with striking 650% increase in cases just between 2024 and 2025.
